中国語の使役表現のあり方と日本語訳について

要旨

The semantic functions of Chinese causative expressions are mainly conveyed through markers such as “让” (ràng), “使” (shǐ), “叫” (jiào), and “令” (lìng). According to dictionary definitions and textbook explanations, Japanese ausative expressions can generally be translated into the structure “NP1 + VP1 (让, 使, 叫, 令) + NP2 + VP2” in Chinese. owever, there are no clear rules as to when “让” should be used versus “使,” “叫, ”or “令.” Similarly, Chinese causative xpressions do not always need to be translated into Japanese using the causative forms “-seru” or “-saseru.” Therefore, this paper aims to clarify the similarities and differences among “让,” “使,” “叫,” and “令” from the perspective of ynonym research. It also considers the presence or absence of volition and explores, from a language acquisition perspective, what should be taken into account when translating Chinese causative expressions into Japanese.
